Romanian Eagle

When the top management of Volkswagen was a little disappointed because of the coldness of the five-ton heavy truck in the market, there were still people working on the improvement of the five-ton heavy truck in the R\u0026D department of Volkswagen.

"Wang, do I think it would be too weird to build like this?"

Looking at the blueprint given by Major Huffman in his hand, Bikya compared a strange-looking car that was almost built in front of him, and asked Wang Chaoqiang, who was still checking car parts. No wonder he has such a problem. The armored vehicle in front of him, full of Liuding punk style, is completely different from the one on the drawing. They can be called two models.

The armored car is 6.1 meters long, 2.85 meters wide and 2.65 meters high. On the front armor is a 65-degree sloped armor with 16mm armor on the upper slope and 15mm on the lower slope. The side upright armor is also 12mm, the tail armor is only 9mm, the turret is wide and narrow and the whole has a slight slope of 80 degrees, the front is 16mm armor, the side and rear of the turret are 14mm armor, all armor is Liuding articulate.

Two 7.92 caliber Maxim heavy machine guns are installed on the turret, a firing port is opened on the left side of the front of the car body, and a Maxim heavy machine gun is installed. The entire armored car is equipped with 3 Maxim machine guns, which are not bad in terms of firepower.

The power of the armored vehicle is the same 80-horsepower engine as the five-ton heavy truck, which can ensure that the 8.1-ton armored vehicle travels at a speed of 45 kilometers per hour. However, because its prototype is a truck, it can only be used in plains and cities with uncomplicated terrain.

Helke, who was checking the parts like Wang Chaoqiang to see if there was still a problem, said to him with sweat on his face. "This is the only way to ensure that the armor of the vehicle will not fall off. We have not tried welded steel plates before that cannot withstand machine gun fire."

Before Hoffman used the drawings given by the crown prince to reconcile, he took a sketch to combine the body of the American M8 armored vehicle with the turret of the Type 92 and handed it over to the three of them, and asked them to do it according to this requirement. The three people used the chassis of the five-ton heavy truck to shorten the length of the frame and quickly built one. Because there was no Liu Ding on the drawings, the three chose the method of welding armor plates to build this test vehicle.

In the fire attack test some time ago, the armored test vehicle faced the continuous fire of the Maxim heavy machine gun, and the welded front armor plate fell off directly, so the three had to change this method and can only use the safest The way is to go to Liu Ding. And Huffman, of course, supported the three automotive experts in order to qualify the armored vehicle. Soon the test vehicle was removed from the welded armor plate and re-ordered Liuding. Now that Edel is here in person, it is impossible to see that this is an armored vehicle produced by relying on his own sketches.

In fact, the welding technology is not too reliable at present, and there is still room for development in the civilian field, but it is still a little powerless for welding military equipment. In fact, it was not until the emergence of automatic welding, a major breakthrough in welding technology in the 1920s, that the welding of armored vehicles became the mainstream of the military.

Wang Chaoqiang couldn't help complaining to him when he saw Bikeya who was still comparing the vehicles with the drawings. "Bikya, stop talking, come and check the vehicle. If there is a problem during the experiment, the three of us will not have a good time."

"I'll come down and check the car right now."

Seeing that he caused dissatisfaction among his colleagues, Biak put down the drawings and joined the inspection team, but he still kept talking. "Wang, when are you going to cook Chinese food next time, I kind of miss the taste of it."

Wang Chaoqiang couldn't help but fight back. "The next time I cook is after your death, to celebrate our ears being clean."

"this is a good idea."

Wang Chaoqiang's words were approved by Hulk, but obviously he was also aroused by Vikya's words. "But we haven't tasted your craft in a while."

Looking at the appearance of the two colleagues in front of him, Wang Chaoqiang didn't think of when he came. At that time, because I was tired of eating European food,

He made braised eel, a variation of his hometown dish braised Wuchang fish, at his residence, intending to improve the taste. The two of them happened to meet each other. At that time, he also warmly invited them to have dinner together. They tasted the Hubei cuisine made by Wang Chaoqiang under the drive of curiosity, but they didn't feel very good.

After only a few years of getting along, they gradually fell in love with the taste after many tastings, and now they are pestering Wang Chaoqiang to make some delicious food from his hometown.

Wang Chaoqiang said while checking the parts. "Won't wait until the armored vehicle is approved by the military's Major Huffman."

Biak carefully inspected the parts with a wrench and said with approval. "It's a good time."

After inspecting the armored vehicle, the three of them sat beside them to rest, and Hulk couldn't help asking the two colleagues around him. "Is this car our masterpiece?"

"This shouldn't be counted. The blueprint was provided by Major Huffman. We relied on the five-ton heavy truck as a prototype and used it. At most, it is a modification."

Wang Chaoqiang slumped on the ground and told Hulk beside him about his cognition.

Biak also added. "I agree with Wang's statement, we can count as a modification at most."

Wang Chaoqiang continued to ask. "Hulk, do you want to design a car yourself?"

Hulk retorted. "Don't you want to?"

Hulk's words evoked their inner thoughts. All three wanted to design a car of their own and watch it take the world by storm. In fact, at present, only the Tuslid, who is in charge of them, is barely qualified. Now Volkswagen's hot-selling T-type cars and 1.5-ton Dongfeng trucks are all designed by Ford. The only thing that is designed by Volkswagen is that the current sales are not good. Five ton heavy truck. All other models are variants, and the eyes of the three of them are full of desire when they think of Henry Ford, who is now a powerful man in the auto industry.

"The three armored vehicles are fine this time, right?"

While the three were thinking about their bright future, Major Hoffman, who was a little worried, came over. Now he has a lot of things to do. He has to build an armored vehicle unit from scratch, and he also cares about his weapons and equipment. Now he can't wait to be able to divide himself into several parts.

But fortunately, he drew a few good cadets by virtue of his connections at the military academy, and then also brought in a few good officers from the cavalry unit and motor transport regiment he had served in, so that this experimental unit was slightly on track. No, after the troops are a little better, he will come to see the most important armored vehicles in the future.

"Major Hoffman, this is not a big problem, just change the welding to a small problem with Liuding."

This time, Hulk answered the major's concern.

"That's fine."

Hoffman looked at the armored car in front of him, his eyes were full of desire to realize his ideal, and he certainly didn't want to miss the opportunity to realize his dream now. The crown prince decided to put it in Constanta, considering that the newly built armored vehicle was best located close to his factory, and the problems found in its maintenance and improvement. So he also came to the Volkswagen factory every three to five to check the progress.

Hoffman asked what he cared about most. "So how soon can I test again?"

It was still Helk who answered. "It can be the day after tomorrow."

Hearing their answers, Hoffman considered whether to let other officers in the army come over to take a look, but he finally gave up the idea for the sake of safety. It would be embarrassing for everyone if there was something wrong with the car.

"When the test is over, ask the crown prince to come and take a look."

Inwardly Hoffman planned to wait until the test was over.

Now Hoffman is looking for Crown Prince Eder, but he will not come, because the Romanian ammonia plant has finally been completed and put into operation. Eder attaches great importance to this factory related to the army and agriculture, and has now rushed to Ploiesti.
